Infrared Emission from Interstellar Dust. Ii. the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
We present a quantitative model for the infrared emission from dust in the di†use interstellar medium. The model consists of a mixture of amorphous silicate grains and carbonaceous grains, each with a wide size distribution ranging from molecules containing tens of atoms to large grains km in diameter. Z1 We assume that the carbonaceous grains have properties like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbo...
متن کاملOn the Crystallinity of Silicate Dust in the Interstellar Medium
An accurate knowledge of the mineralogy (chemical composition and crystal structure) of the silicate dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial for understanding its origin in evolved stars, the physical and chemical processing in the ISM, and its subsequent incorporation into protostellar nebulae, protoplanetary disks and cometary nuclei where it is subjected to further processing. While...
متن کاملPixie Dust : The Silicate Features in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
We have analyzed the 9.7 and " 18 " µm interstellar silicate absorption features along the line of sight toward four heavily extincted galactic WC-type Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. We construct two interstellar extinction curves from 1.25 to 25 µm using near-IR extinction measurements from the literature along with the sili-cate profiles of WR 98a (representing the local ISM) and GCS 3 (representing ...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Thermal Pressures in the Interstellar Medium
It is generally recognized that the interstellar medium has a vast range of densities and temperatures. While these two properties are usually anticorrelated with each other, there are nevertheless variations in their product, nT , the thermal gas pressure (divided by the Boltzmann constant k). A study of these variations and their kinematical relationships can help to mold our concepts of inte...
متن کاملThe Size Distribution of Superbubbles in the Interstellar Medium
We use the standard, adiabatic shell evolution to predict the size distribution N(R) for populations of SN-driven superbubbles in a uniform ISM. We derive N(R) for simple cases of superbubble creation rate and mechanical luminosity function. We then compare our predictions for N(R) with the largely complete H i hole catalogue for the SMC, with a view toward the global structure of the ISM in th...
